Love these colours and the shading in the late summer.
Brilliant orange and green leaves in the afternoon sun.  Shadows fall on some.

Impromptu still-life on a kitchen counter this morning. Getting ready for our little granddaughter. 😊
Bright sunshine on kitchen counter.  Strong shadows.  A watermelon, some sliced cucumber, and a partially filled jar of water.  Among other things.

Beautiful day at Barkerville this week. Our local historical Gold Rush town. Looking nice.

These lovely flowers have been growing in our yard for over 40 years now. Treasured.
White and yellow flowers in bright sunshine.  Snow-in-summer as I remember.

A beautiful but very hot day at the VanDusen Botanical Gardens from two years ago. Looking for all the shade I could find.

Very heartened to see this messaging yesterday on a bridge pier. In a bit of an out-of-the-way spot. 💛
Two messages written on an old bridge pier.  Very pertinent for our times.  Yellow highlighting is mine.

Finishing up a long day seventeen years ago. Taken with my old HTC flip phone. The high bush cranberries were at height of season and we lingered a little I suppose. 😊
Lone tree silhouetted against last light on the mountains.  Feel the approaching chill of the evening and relish the abundance of high bush cranberries.

My young lilac in the backyard. Grown from a cutting from my white lilac in the front yard. Very happy with how it's doing.

Now an overgrown small downtown lot. But not long ago, there was a beautiful, vibrant garden here maintained by local volunteers. The founder sadly passed away and, as I remember, interest waned. There are only a few flowers left scattered in the grass. One of them is this lovely yellow tulip. 💛

Today, along with so many others, I'm recognizing the 66th anniversary of the Tibetan people's uprising in Lhasa. A people with indomitable resolve.

A photo from last summer. My yellow Bartzella Itoh peony. Or so the horticulturist told me. Oops. Well I love it anyway.

Wonderful photo. And full credit to others. Kind of sums up how I feel at the moment. A little small relative to world events. But unwilling to put up with any guff. And some very sharp teeth. Nice snarl.
